Cambridge has served The Bahamas Insurance Association in various executive capacities over the years, participating in regulatory working groups and lending expertise to the legislative landscape governing the industry. She was appointed a Director of the National Health Insurance Authority, thereby contributing to the ongoing development of a universal healthcare program for The Bahamas.
"I am very excited to herald a new focus on the structure and operations of the Foundation, particularly in pursuit of our global mission. I’m energized to lend to the focussed assessment, enhancement of processes and procedures that have served the Foundation in the past with a view to meet the future needs for our long-term strategic goals. We aim to ensure Sir John's vision of building an entity that will serve his intended purposes for well over the next 100 years,” says Cambridge.
